You made me believe I was nothing ...

You made me live in suffocation before I ever learned to breathe
Choked me on shards of glass before I ever learned to teeth
Broke my bones so many times before they were made strong
Taught me I was worthless, I never doubted you were wrong

Made me believe I was nothing before I could walk
Told me I'd never speak, so I never knew I could talk
Preached I was ugly, I'd never have beauty or grace
To prove yourself right, you made wretched scars on my face

Intricate details of hope that I never could hear
Drowned out my vision, pretended to not interfere
Exposed all my flaws and my imperfections out loud
Made sure every one knew, screamed at the crowd

Humiliated my figure, I was, torn, bent, and broken
Laughed at your own insults, after your lies had been spoken
All you ever said, was all I believed, all I knew
Your truths were outnumbered by your lies at the pew

You prayed up to God, blamed me for your moods
Told him it was my own fault for me being abused
But I was too young to doubt you, to sheltered to know
That your careless thoughts were stunting my growth

All of my life, I've been so worthless and degraded
Going through all of my days, as my confidence faded
My eyes are so scarred, and my ears know it all
I've never stood on my feet, only on my knees I crawl

I looked up to you, carried out your every useless need
I fed into your hate, excused your comments and your greed
Always thinking I was faded, just a mistake you never wanted
The one you claimed to love, but so viciously flaunted

Stole meaning from my life, before it ever had the chance to try
Tore the wings off my back before they had room enough to fly
You cut deep into my insides, and tore away my heart
Took away my reasons for living before I ever had the chance to start ...
